Support AB 405: Keep Kids Toxin Free
Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters urges you to support AB 405, which is before the Assembly Committee on Consumer Protection on Wednesday.
Bisphenol-A (BPA) is a toxic chemical commonly found in children’s bottle and sippy cups. It is suspected to cause cancer, heart disease, neurological defects, diabetes, hyperactivity and sex hormone problems in fetuses and young children. AB 405 would protect children’s health by banning the manufacture and sale of children’s bottles and cups containing BPA.
Conservation NOW announces the pro-conservation positions on issues before the Senate, Assembly and/or Governor in the week ahead to state legislators. Others wishing to follow activities in the state legislature also receive Conservation NOW, including legislative staff, conservation voters, and media. All of these issues are tracked on the Conservation Vote Tracker.. Issues in the Conservation NOW may appear in the Conservation Scorecard, to be released in the summer of 2010.
